Anderson Silva vs. Ryo Chonan Video The Flying Scissor Heel Hook

Back in 2004 at Pride Shockwave Anderson Silva was really working over Ryo Chonan until Chonan pulled off one of the most famous submissions in Pride FC history.

Chonan will always be remembered for his Flying Scissor Heel Hook that he used to take down the now UFC Champion. In this MMA fight video Josh Barnett MCs the walk through of their fight and the famous submission.

This is why I love watching professional fighters. It shows how skillful and talented these guys are. So many people (who don’t get it) think this profession is nothing but a bunch of men slugging it out but this proves them all wrong. These guys are so talented and are masters in their profession, they are to be admired just as other top professional sport stars.

I’m sick of people regurgitating UFC hype rather than educating themselves. They (the UFC)got someone, i seem to remember it was guy mezger, to say on the 10 years of pride show that chonan was losing this fight before the sub, and now everyone thinks it true?!! Here’s an idea: Watch the fight! The whole fight! You’ll see, and you’ll hear the commentators (including Bas Rutten) say, that chonan is well on his way to a unanimous decision over silva before this sub happens. Not only that, but he was beating him with strikes.

Barnett made himself look like a complete fool. For those who love him or Silva so much, stop being their bitch. Watch the WHOLE fight to see that the Chonan was winning the fight anyways. If you need help understanding the fight, listen to the commentators.

That’s exactly what I wanted to write. Chonan was winning the whole fight, it was not even that close. Andereson even received a yellow card for being too passive. The sub was just the icing on the cake.
